Grand Hyatt Singapore

[bvlgari25]

Hi shakingheads,

I'm a GH BTB this june. The other 2 hotels you have mentioned are exactly what I have seriously considered too. I have attended a wedding dinner at MM before. The ballroom was nice and the food was good. My colleague who had hers there also strongly recommended MM to me. Her coordinator was Fiona. Think she is good. Actually to be honest Marina Mandarin was my 1st choice but too bad my date was booked. So was debating between my 2nd choices: Merchant Court and GH. In the end I chose GH cos I heard a lot of good comments on the food. Had a little food tasting during one of its bridal showcase and the food was really nice. I can't comment on Merchant Court's cos I've not tried before.

I'm taking the Mag/Van rooms which have pillars. So if I were to consider the ballrooms, Merchant Court definitely has an edge over GH. But I'm willing to close one eye wrt the pillars as my htb and i really like the food at GH and the themes they provide. So I don't mind paying more for the food and service at GH. I do believe that it is important for our guests to enjoy the food such that it will be memorable for everyone.

Shakingheads, you will have to see which is more important to you. All the best in your search for the ideal hotel. ^_^

Hi Ling, has your coordinator contact you about the choosing of theme, invites, food tasting etc?

 

[bvlgari25]

Hi eternal_mates, no leh... think the previous time she mentioned most prob would be mar/apr. I think usually should be 2-3 mth before AD. If you're worried that they forget maybe juz give them a call and check? Cos i know of some places the coordinator forgot and the couples actually have to send reminder. Hope GH doesn't have such problem.

 

[eternal_mates]

Mine is in June as well. Thus I was wondering when they will call.

 

[pebblydiamonds]

hi eternal_mates,
i think u have to call them up urself. mayb if u wanna be kiasu abit can call abit more than 3mths before? i don't think they keep track about when which couple should go n meet them for tiedowns etc..

 

[happycake]

I am not a Grand Hyatt BTB but I had my company's D&D there last year.

At that time, we had the black and red theme.
I would say it is very nice and classy!
As for the food, it is delicious too and the portions were big. Maybe cos my table were all girls so we couldn't finish the food.

For those who are considering, I would recommend it for your banquet.

 

[eternal_mates]

Hi Pebbles, that's what I think. Thinking of asking them next month.

 

[pebblydiamonds]

yeah i think better to ask early. or at least call early to book appointment for the meet-up. then if u don't have enough invitations, u have more time to get somemore from them and send for printing.

 

[eternal_mates]

You got a good point, thanks

 

[cyys]

hi Hui,

sorry for the delay, have sent you some pics (tho I don't have many pics with the pillars in them). hope it helps!
my wedding was some time ago, so my coordinator has left since then.

[shakingheads]

Hi there
Anyone has a Wedding package for Grand Hyatt to sell? Pls let me know . Thanks

 

[shanicelim]

Hey bugs! You are using which room?

 

[pearlypearl]

Hi ladies, im planning for my wedding in Jan 2010 and am considering GH.

Can anyone send me the contacts to the coordinator, please?

TIA!!

[email protected]

 

[tabbygal]

Hi Pearl, my coordinator is Myra
Phone: (65) 6738 1234
Direct: (65) 6416 7043

 

[pearlypearl]

Thanks, Tabitha!!

Btw, by any chance, do you have her email address too? Thanks again!

 

[pebblydiamonds]

Hi Tabitha, my coordinator's Myra too

 

[tabbygal]

Hi Pearl,
her email is: [email protected]

Hi Pebbles,
I wanted to book my wedding on the same day as you but the place has been booked already. Haha... if i did Myra would be very busy! =)

 

[pearlypearl]

Thanks, Tabitha... but abit too late, cos Mandy responded to me liao.

Btw, is there a list of the dates taken at GH here?

 

[pebblydiamonds]

Hi Tabitha: how come u know the date is taken by me? u looking at Mag/Van? or SSR? haha. but u know i think on the AD itself, Myra won't come down.. i think we'll be working with the banquet coordinator from there already. Altho all our tie-downs and liaisons will be with Myra as contact person.

 

[eternal_mates]

Just an update, food tasting is 2 months before your wedding day. As for choosing of the table linen, decor etc, will be 1 month before the wedding day.

 

[tabbygal]

Oh no pebbles, jus found out that Myra has quit! She transferred us to another coordinator. So sad... Initally we were considering Mag/Vanda then changed to SSR as HTB don't like pillars.

 

[pebblydiamonds]

ya!! i received her email last night.. felt so sad..

my fiance said, as long as Hyatt honours whatever they promised us, even though the coordinator has changed..
yeah SSR is nice.. i like SSR la.. but sigh.. more ex, and has a cap of 30tables.. scared we will need more..

 

[tabbygal]

Who's your new coordinator? Mine is Sam aju. Wonder how he's like? I like Myra but maybe cos she's blissfully married now so no need to work liao.
For my fiance and i, we felt easier to scale down then have to find people to come so chose SSR.

 

[tabbygal]

Anyone here using the Hibiscus room?

 

[piyo_piyo]

Hi all,

I went to Hyatt yesterday to take a look at their ballrooms as they have quite a few weddings on that nite. I'm wondering how come some of the rooms did not hit the minimum tables requirement and they allowed to have wedding there? For example, the couple only have about 16 tables in Hibiscus room but minimum tables requirement for weekdays is 20 tables n weekends is 25 tables. Because i only have 16-20 tables, so only can take camelia room. But i like Hibiscus room, more like a ballroom whereby camelia room is just a normal function room, nothing spectacular.. Do u think i can negotiate with them to take the Hibiscus room?

 

[michecwy]

ani one have the pic for e ballroom when u went for site visit?Pls emailme..

Hi Hui

If Hibiscus is booked on the same day as ur AD by another couple, it is impossible to change it to there. I guess its business tactics that if you are only taking less than 20 tbls and u wana take hibiscus, Hyatt might lose extra tables should other couples who have more than 20 tables want to take Hibiscus but have been taken up by yourself.
I had the same prob before, wanted to even up the tables to 25 or so but as all the rooms have been booked, i had no choice but to take Camillia Room. However, am quite happy in the end as the setting was really very cosy and intimate.
However, you have to note that if you intend to have 2 projectors, the maximum no. of tables Camillia can accomodate is only 18tbls,not more than that. If 1 projector, maybe 19 tbls as they dont want ur guests to be sitting uncomfortably.
So at the end of the day, your guest list have to be very firmed that you will definitely not be hitting more than 18tbls.

 

[jasminewys]

my ad is on 28 nov 2009 and i have already booked hibiscus room during the wedding show in june 2008...

n i attended my friend's wedding in hibiscus room in 2007... it's a good n cosy room in my opinion...

 

[princessng]

Hi Jasmine,
May I knw what r the perks that you get when u booked during the wedding show? I realise Hyatt is very very rigid. Thanks

 

[topaz]

hello! just like to check how's the food and the ambience and experience here?planning 30 tables @ Mar 2010... will appreciate your feedback. Thanks v much!!

 

[diamondfericia]

Can send my 2009 to 2010 package to me?

[email protected]

thank you!!!

 

[jasminewys]

hmmm.. cos i signed up during the wedding show i got the standard free projector, one additional wish and some 100 dollars pete's place voucher...
the package is rather comprehensive to me as compared to the other hotels that i've viewed... like pan pac... merchant court..

besides, i'm impressed with the level of service, quality of food and the decor of the banquet hall...

 

[princessng]

Thanks for your reply. . . For us, we couldn't get additional wish n as ours is a weekend dinner, only 2 wishes. I tried to ask for 1 day room for helpers but to no avail. kinda disappointed as when we kinda say other hotels r not so rigid, the coordinator told us that as our date is a hot date, we can go to other hotels if the other hotels really can offer that to us. =(((

 

[jasminewys]

hmmmm.. i was advised to wait till the wedding show when i signed uo last year... for the additional wish...mine is also a weekend dinner...

which room are u using? date? usually year end are all hot dates...

u will be given 2 nights free stay.. maybe if u really need the day room, can get them to convert to two rooms on the same day??? or offer to downgrade to a normal room instead of a suite???

not too sure... cos my coordinator Mandy is very nice and professional.. humorous and offers good suggestions

 

[cocosweet]

Hi GB BTB, can anyone share the perks that you are given?
I am planning to take Mag room on weekday. i only have 3 wishes and tried to ask for a day room for helpers, but my coordinator Marie is quite *stringy* with the perks..
and if compare to other hotels, their perks are quite limited.

 

[princessng]

Hi hi.. mine was very much the same as what was presented. Nothing was change yet.. will meet my coordinator again to see the draft contract. I dunno if I can drag till another wedding show to get an additional wish as I dunno if there is one. sigh...
Yes I agree they are quite strict with the perks considering the current economic crisis and compared to other hotels.
Is there any success stories on getting perks? Or any coordinator to recommend?

 

[miwako]

Hi, I'm still deciding between GH and FS. My gf had her wedding last year at GH, and the service was quite bad, perhaps due to the 5 weddings they had on that day. GH offers me the same Cam room for our 1st proposed date, while FS offers on another date. We're still deciding between them, mainly becuz (1) GH will be like deja vu for my gfs and I due to same venue, same food wedding favours (2) bad experience (3) the date!
Any advise?

 

[cocosweet]

yep jo. Marie was very stringy with the perks. i am still waiting for the drafted contract. keep my fingers cross that she will be able to accede to our request. If she dont, we also have no choice but to accept it as we have already decided that we want GH. BTw,Does anyone know when the next wedding show?thanks!

[piyo_piyo]

Hi gals,

I heard from my coordinator, coming 28/2 will have a wedding show in Hyatt. I just paid my deposit yesterday and very satisfied with the perks that they gave. As my wedding day falls on sun, so i only can choose 2 wishes. But my coordinator promised to give me complimentary LCD projector and additional 1 wish. Not only this, she still gave one free spa package for me and my partner :> Therefore, i'm quite happy with the perks they gave. Think u gals should sign up during wedding show, got more perks. As my coordinator gave me these perks according to wedding show offer.

 

[carebearz]

It could be the couple paid for 20tables but only had 16tables. I've got friends who couldn't meet the min no. of tables but they still paid up for the min no. of tables and use the extra payment to exchange for something else like dinner vouchers etc.

 

[michecwy]

hui, how many tables u having? and per table how much?

 

[xbb07]

I was at Hyatt yesterday, like the place very much.However my co-ordinator is Marie, she did not offer any additional perks.. Can anyone recommand any good co-ordinator?
